Ela Handbags: The Petite and Versatile Chibi Lady

I’ve been aware of Ela Handbags, a Canadian and Swedish based line of bags for a while now.  However, I have to admit that I did not get a chance to properly see them up close until their fall preview/panel discussion at Holt Renfrew a couple of weeks ago.  This was soon followed by a […]

Nordstrom Heading to Yorkdale in (Another) Expansion

Matzoh, Lamb and Tabouli: Some Easter and Passover Dinner Photos

I don’t typically share personal dinner photos that take place in my home, but I thought I’d show readers what I made over the long weekend.  My husband is a non-observant Jew and I’m a lapsed Catholic who was educated in an Anglican girls’ school (I guess I’m an unofficial lapsed Anglican).  However, despite not […]
